A Bit More Progress in the Kitchen

Yes! We have the essential kitchen in! That means, all the wall and base cabinets that are against the plaster walls, that hold or surround the fridge, microwave, stove, sink, and dishwasher. The non-essential kitchen is the part of the kitchen that will be against the brick wall and will give us extra storage and counterspace. That's pretty essential too. Especially for bread baking. We're working on this part now.

The microwave took all of Saturday to install. We wanted to make sure it's gonna stay where it's supposed to be, so we took extra precaution, in the form of extra screws and attachments to the cabinet above it and to the wall. Also, as I mentioned before, we made sure the cabinet above it is securely fastened to the wall and the ceiling beam.It took a long time also because of vent that comes out of it and needed to be attached to ducts in the cabinet:

And then we had to seal the opening to the outside with some Great Stuff.And cut it when it dried.

Can't wait to be done and remove all that protective plastic off the microwave!

Dorit, Looks like things are really coming together! Great job! I'm SUPER impressed! I don't think this is something I could even come close to tackling. Thanks for all of your updates. It's fun to see how things are coming along. :)

About Me

So many blogs, so little time... I started with a blog about breads that my husband bakes (mmm... yum!), then figured that other foods deserve a blog as well. Joining Illustration Friday required yet another blog. One also has to keep track of all the books one reads, right? And what about buying an old house with lots of problems (=lots of writing material)? Yup, that's why so many blogs.
